Threshold’s Cancel Amazon Prime Movement
Want to boycott Amazon but afraid it won’t make a difference? This website is collecting pledges from people to boycott various Amazon services once they reach a threshold amount that would actually make a difference: https://threshold.us/c/cancelprime
The website has a nice list of alternatives to use instead of Amazon so that you don’t lose convenience.
If you only use some Amazon services and not others (or you’re only willing to give up some services and not others), they do offer different choices of which services to boycott.
A mass, simultaneous Prime membership cancellation to compel Amazon to pay its taxes and treat workers, communities, suppliers and the plane
Some reasons to boycott include:
-Not paying taxes on its HUGE profits
-Dropping workers’ stock plans and bonuses after raising wages
-Selling facial recognition technology to the police and ICE
-Fighting Seattle’s measure to fight homelessness
-and many more!
Anyways, I think that this is a pretty cool movement, and i don’t completely understand how tumblr works so idk if anyone else will actually see this post, but feel free to share it if you do.
